On the 23rd of July 2024 a dream came true.
My first-ever headline show in London at PizzaExpress Live SOLD OUT, and I am still riding the high from the incredible energy and support that filled the room. As I sit down to write this, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and joy, and I want to share every moment of that unforgettable night with you.
From the moment I stepped onto the stage, I felt an electric connection with the audience. The intimate setting of PizzaExpress Live, known for its fantastic acoustics and warm ambiance, was the perfect backdrop for this milestone in my career. The sight of a packed house, with every seat filled by people who came to share this experience with me, was both humbling and exhilarating.
The night was a rollercoaster of emotions. As I sang my first note, a wave of excitement washed over me, and I could see the smiles and hear the cheers from the crowd. Each song became a shared journey, with the audience’s energy amplifying my own. It was more than just a performance; it was a celebration of music, connection, and community.
One of the most touching moments of the evening was when I performed a song I had written for my grandma’s passing called “Endless Cheers“. Seeing the audience resonate with the lyrics and melody was incredibly moving. There were tears, laughter, and an overwhelming sense of solidarity in the room. Music has an extraordinary way of bringing people together, and that night was a testament to its power.
After the show, I had the chance to meet many of my fans in person. Hearing their stories and how my music has touched their lives was inspiring and reaffirmed why I do what I do. The hugs, kind words, and shared moments of joy were the perfect ending to an already magical night.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this night possible. To my team, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, to my band, to PizzaExpress Live for providing such an amazing venue, and most importantly, to all of you who came out to support me. Your presence and enthusiasm turned my first headline show into a night I will never forget.
This sold-out show was a milestone, but it’s just the beginning. I am excited about the future and can’t wait to share more music and more moments with all of you. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I am endlessly grateful.
Here’s to many more nights of music, connection, and unforgettable experiences!
With love and gratitude,
Vina
